It’s day four and Los Angeles is still under siege by radical domestic terrorists being called “mostly peaceful” by democratic politicians at every local, state and federal level.
What must be addressed are those terrorist “protesters” who are absolutely non-peaceful.
Without going into repeating details about why deportations are being done, starting with the violent criminal migrants and ending with every single illegal alien that has come across our border as an undocumented migrant, everyone who broke US immigration laws are eligible to be deported back to their country of origin.
Anyone who aided and abetted illegals or hindered US immigration and customs enforcement or other federal agents is subject to arrest and prosecution.
As for the physically violent protesters, those caught in the act (physically or on camera) should be hunted down (J6 style) and brought before federal judges in the city, county or state of their violent offense, beginning with ringleaders, financiers and everyone involved in obtaining, transporting and using objects used against law enforcement.
With all of the big brother cameras, police presence (air, ground and sea) it should be easy to spot a semi-truck loading, transporting or unloading palletized material being staged throughout the city proper. It should also be easy for law enforcement, city, county or state employees to stakeout, confiscate, remove or relocate such prepositioned supplies to be placed under law enforcement control.
As for city councils, mayors or governors who choose or fail to take appropriate action to protect the citizens of their jurisdictions against violent criminal, they must be held accountable for their actions or failure to take action.
How hard is it to obey federal law especially when it trumps state and local sanctioned lawlessness or face the consequences for not doing their constitutional duty?

After 9 years cancer free my youngest daughter had a tumor removed from the right side of her chest. When she went to see her surgeon she received bad news, she had an aggressive form of cancer. As she began processing this devastating news I told her that nothing had changed because God has this, as he has before her surgery – nothing is impossible with God.
I took her to get a PET scan at a local hospital.
I notified our church prayer chain, my brothers, an aunt and a cousin to pray.
I followed by praying specifically “commanding the cancer to leave her body and go back to where it came from. I then asked God to give her strength and His peace and to guide the medical team that treats her. In Jesus name Amen.”
As she prepared to see the doctor and receive the PET scan results said that no matter what news she received she was going to fight and not give up. She went in for the radiology consultation briefing of the PET scan results and the doctors said they saw no cancer, just a problematic lymph node in that same area and they will begin treatment with radiation therapy over a 6 week period. The doctor said her overall prognosis is “curable” but had no idea what happened to the cancer.
Praise God!
I know and now you know that God is the God of Impossible.
We thank God for this miraculous healing and ask for continued prayer for further healing as she prepares for this upcoming radiation treatment regimen. I thank each of you who have joined in prayer and ask for your continuation in prayer as she prepares to undergo 6 weeks of Radiation Therapy to address questionable lymph nodes.
Our faith is fully in God and His will in this situation.
We are reminded that because God is, He hears and answers our prayers. We are to pray expecting God to answer and then we accept His answer, whether we understand it or not.
God’s ways are higher than the ways of man.
Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

It could be characterized as a battle between the two most hated men in American politics, but could it be wrong? President Trump has often said that “they” are after you, but I’m standing in the way.
After Elon Musk put himself behind the DOGE effort to cut the fraud, waste and abuse in government many on the left said he was hated more than Trump. Those “spontaneous” Tesla fires and vandalisms because Musk’s name was synonymous with Tesla put him squarely in the crosshairs of leftist’s domestic terrorists and the stock market began fluxuating as a result.
In the beginning DOGE had a predetermined exit date in July 2026, but the early exit of Elon caused widespread speculation of whether it was also the early end of DOGE.
As of today the left is still using Lawfare against Trump and his administration in an effort to stop the DOJ and State Department’s massive deportation of illegal, undocumented and visa overstays beginning with violent criminal migrants.
With Trump’s claim of a 99.999% closed border, with more wall construction to come. Not to mention Trump’s failure to bring a lasting ceasefire to the Russia – Ukraine and the Israel – Gaza conflicts something had to be done to “take the heat off” so to speak and to restore Elon Musk and his enterprises back to their normal pre-Trump (DOGE) good graces in the eyes of the public.
That brings us to the present day Musk – Trump feud on social media’s “X” and/or Trump Social where the mudslinging appears to have begun. Musk say’s something, Trump responds and goes further, Musk says more and Trump responds with more, and so the ball bounces. The leftist media is eating it all up like cops at a doughnut shop (pun intended – I like cops and doughnuts).
I remember that Trump once said “good or bad, publicity is publicity and it’s better if I don’t have to pay for it” (loosely paraphrased).
What if this is all a publicity stunt created by Chinese AI or for America’s fake news?
In recent days, weeks and months after the inauguration of President Donald Trump as POTUS #47 the unmasking of Joe Biden’s presidency is calling into question why republicans keep talking about him. He’s no longer president and we should just move along toward the midterm and 2028 elections.
Some democrats still say that Biden was sharp as a tack, at the top of his game or in the words of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer “He’s a sharp as he’s ever been” (paraphrased). I get no warm and fuzzy feeling of confidence in Schumer’s statement.
There was a reason that President Barack Obama kept VP Biden on a short political leash. His feet were always finding ways into his mouth. As president it was more of the same with the exception that Biden thought he was better than Trump and then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi played along with that idea.
In truth throughout Trump’s first presidency #45 all the focus was on discrediting him in order to get Trump out of office because he was uncontrollable by traditional political means. There was a constant push to get VP Pence to enact the 25th Amendment to oust Trump because he was not fit to serve as president. Then it was impeach Trump, not once, but twice to get him removed from office. There were efforts in the House to withdraw Trump’s former presidential privileges. And then there was January 6th that would surely get Trump out of the political picture once and for all.
Everyone forgot that during the DNC presidential debates both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came out LAST by all counts. They were at each other’s throats telling how un-presidential the other was.
After the 2020 election it was Biden who called himself the president-elect even before there was an Electoral College formal certification on January 6th. Biden’s repeated calls for Trump to concede the election were ignored.
After being inaugurated in 2021 America saw the creation of the Biden/Harris Administration. Where by her own admission Harris said she was in the room for every major decision made. There were many bad decisions that proved two democratic heads were not better than one. The constant theme circulating from the White House and from Congress was Trump is bad and those who voted for him were bad people too.
It wasn’t lost on Americans or around the world that Joe Biden went into mental decline and instead of taking charge, activating the 25th Amendment as they should have done, the presidential staff, the Vice President and both chambers of Congress DID NOTHING!
It was a lost opportunity for VP Kamala Harris to become the first woman President and for House Speaker Pelosi to become Vice President and following the democratic pattern of double dealing, Pelosi could have called on the 25th Amendment to cement herself as Harris replacement in the White House.
As it stands even now, there was no personal, professional or political accountability among the thieves of the Democratic Party. The route taken was to force an ailing Joe Biden to withdraw from his fantasy of a second term, and put all their effort behind propping up Harris to defeat Trump in 2024. The democrats were doomed to failure from the start.
It is important that the American people see crooked politicians being held accountable for their dishonest actions, on and off the political playing field.
There are too many questionable actions that demand accountability. Many may be too treasonous to let slide. Biden’s open border policy; national defense; foreign affairs; domestic; economy; Hunter’s laptop; drugs into the White House and more likely on Air Force One or Two call into question who’s running the store? The autopen episode(s) did Biden know and approve of it being used?
Even more questionable is how inefficient, fraudulent and mismanaged the government has been operating for decades by politicians with no real common or business sense, like a train being run at full throttle towards an immovable object with nobody at the controls (checks and balances).
Now that Trump is doing a national emergency coarse correction those resisting are attempting to seal their own fate, and the fate of millions of Americans.
Rather than becoming the solution they are satisfied in being the problem, while blaming everyone but themselves. – RTM
The rage from left leaning institutions of higher learning is that for the Trump Administration to cut off funding and/or to stop issuing student visas to their school is a violation of their 1st Amendment rights.
That argument came from the prestigious Harvard (where they teach law) in their lawsuit against the Trump Administration who argue they are unable to teach without government interference.
I seem to recall other institutions refuse government money for exactly the same reason.
It would appear that although these prestigious institutions have $B endowments that they use as they please, they still feel entitled to government funds yet don’t want to submit to government oversight. When students suffer due to institutional malfeasance or lack of corporate intestinal fortitude don’t blame the government, blame institutional leadership.
The blame clearly falls on the institutional leaders, faculty and staff for allowing this behavior in the first place. If they are unable to teach with funds they already have, then maybe they should obey the law they teach by not allowing indoctrination, intimidation, fear mongering and violence on their campuses or “see the light” and just resign?
Besides the Rights guaranteed by the US Constitution are for US Citizens, not institutions or government agencies. – RTM
I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner but I know why the democratic run against Trump in 2024 failed. Dems across the nation have been taken aback by the amount of Americans have jumped onboard the MAGA train and are abhorred that they have nothing to counter Trump’s America First movement.
I have decided to give the Dems a movement they can be proud of called the Donald Trump Resistance Movement (DTRM). It is a totally opposite, yet nowhere equal in that once his second term is over, MAGA will continue forward and like all established democratic ideas, movements and inspirations the DTRM will die a slow death, like a fish out of water.
Over the past decade we have watched as Dems have fought tooth and nail to prevent both Trump presidencies (#45 & #47), they now brag and joke about impeaching, convicting and basically doing any and everything they can (unsuccessfully I might add) to make him fail, because when Trump fails Dems win, right?
Under the Biden (#46) presidency we have seen the Congressional Medal of Freedom handed out like candy to people who should have been behind bars for their official acts, or those who were recognized for doing nothing at all. We watched as president auto-pen granted pardons to Biden family members and former administration officials not because of the dishonest acts they performed, but because Trump’s administration “might” go after them (secret hit list). We have watched the weaponizaton of government go after Trump associates not because of wrongdoings but because they were Trump associates. How can we not remember the 20M undocumented illegal migrants (invaders) who were BROUGHT into or facilitated into the interior of the United States as Biden sought to further a United Nations 2030 Agenda to permanently open America’s borders. We saw America go “woke” as “equality for all” became the goal. American “sanctuary” cities and states put handcuffs on law enforcement by defunding, or selective enforcement of local, state and federal law allowing catch and release of some very serious criminals. The entire world saw the “Slumberer-in-Chief” spend 4-years in seclusion as the world continued on and neither Vice President Harris, members of the Biden cabinet or members of the Democratic led congress took appropriate action to call on the 25th Amendment for the sake of the nation, the party or the presidency. The unity call before, during and after the 2024 election by the Dems has always been “Beat Trump” and the VP’s answer to Trumps America First agenda is to “not look behind, but gaze ahead at what might be” only offering nothing concrete.
So it is most appropriate for a movement that Dems can grab hold of and hoist the DTRM banner of resistance as the sand beneath their feet is undoubtedly quicksand. – RTM
The democrats at the DNC headquarters had this idea to fly an airplane pulling a “Qatar-a-Lago” banner over President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. (Would that congressional democrats work so hard FOR average everyday Americans instead of crap like this).
This is one more move intended to criticize President Trump, but this time for accepting a $400B state of the art jet airliner on behalf of the United States. Arguments against a US president flying in a foreign airplane did not take into consideration that Boeing built this aircraft for Qatar Airlines. When asked by a fake news journalist President Trump told her you don’t refuse a gift.
Although funny in the sense it’s another way of donating free publicity to Trump in a way that will have a massive impact for President Trump after leaving office in 4 years.
Think Trump’s one big beautiful Presidential Library (yet to be built) that would have to be big enough for Trump’s Big Beautiful Airplane gift? Maybe by 2029 “Alligator Alcatraz” with an existing airport runway capable of landing a Boeing 747 could be repurposed?
By law the president cannot accept gifts, so they are to be placed in his presidential library.
Any updates on Obama’s presidential library in Chicago? (I hear Trump knows a guy!) – RTM
“If the government was run by the same standards as corporations it would go financially bankrupt and out of business, the CEO would be in jail and there would be nothing for anybody” – (paraphrased) Elon Musk.
Why would Elon make such a statement?
After Elon was appointed head of a special taskforce called Department of Government Efficiency under the Office of Budget and Management and in conjunction with the House DOGE subcommittee, his team got to work beginning with the USAID and sparks began to fly. Initially they were denied access until upper management were terminated and walked out of the building. The agency became slated for closure, the name removed from the headquarters building and functions assumed by other agencies.
As the DOGE team began assessing the operation and software used to operate USAID and doll out government grants it became apparent there were none of the financial checks and balances on how funds were earmarked, spent or tracked. It also became apparent that fraud was out of control and had been for a very long time.
As this financial audit progressed to every government agency the results were the same. In fact there were many unverified payments being made to government workers who didn’t exist or were no longer employed. Grant payments were issued without checking to see if the cause was justified or by verifiable results. Many grants payments went to America’s enemies like the Taliban.
As fraudulent payments totaled into the $B instead of being grateful these payments were uncovered congressional democrats revolted. They falsely accused President Trump and DOGE of stealing monies for personal use. Such a defamation of character for neither President Trump or any of the DOGE volunteers receive any financial reimbursement for the work ferreting out fraud for which they have committed to do.
Another problem area DOGE uncovered was the manner in which government employee records are being processed in “the Cave” with antiquated computer software and actual paper being packed by hand into an underground fortress, very outdated and inefficient as well as time consuming (wasteful manhours and personnel) that could and is being updated with modern technology.
It seems that DOGE discovered that among the more than 400 government agencies in existence there is only one checking account for payments going out, yet no financial safeguards.
As DOGE teams and processes are brought online throughout government many other issues are being uncovered as steps to modernize and shrink the government workforce is underway to reduce duplication of processes, methods and personnel I wonder how did we get to this point of inefficiency?
Other presidential administrations have long identified some of these shortfalls, but did not have the knowhow or expertise to make significant changes to make our government efficient.
Like a train moving forward with no reverse the only path is to create more agencies, hire more workers and make our government larger, more bloated and vastly inefficient.
The very same is true with Congress. Politicians need to pull their collective heads out of their collective rectums and return to working FOR THE PEOPLE whom they represent. – RTM
If you are paying attention to stories from democratic members of congress, social media and the main stream media you will undoubtedly come to the conclusion that in his first 100 days President Trump is destroying democracy in America by dismantling our government, alienating our friends and enemies alike or as AOC do succinctly put it “Trump is destroying years of progress”.
How does that make you feel?
Do you feel safer than under President Biden’s four years?
Here is how I see things and I’m no political expert.
From Day One among other things President Trump began:
Sealing the Southern and Northern borders, rounding up dangerous illegal alien invaders and removing them from the United States.
Initiating actions to get Mexico and Canada to stop the flow of drugs, human trafficking and illegal crossings into the United States.
While fighting democratic-lead “blue” states to cooperate with ICE to enforce federal immigration laws to detain and remove public safety threats.
Instituting D.O.G.E. into every federal agency as a scalpel to root out Fraud, Waste and Abuse.
Using D.O.G.E. to both identify and install safeguards to prevent the continuation of government fraud.
Using D.O.G.E. to identify ways to “trim the fat” within a bloated federal government.
Work with congress’s House DOGE subcommittee to insure effective changes to how things “have always been done” to becoming a more efficient and effective government.
Using Tariffs as a tool to bring about Fair Trade Agreements between the United States and every country doing business with the USA.
Exploring the national security implications of controlling the Panama Canal and using Greenland’s location in the waterways of the northern hemisphere.
Growing the economy by encouraging manufacturing ON American soil, BY American workers and FOR American consumers.
Addressing the comments of congressional democrats about Trump destroying “democracy” it is simply referring to Trump standing in the way of the Progressive Democratics and their forcing totalitarian socialism on Americans.
Americans want safety, security, prosperity and freedom to live the American Dream without political restrictions. Until the Democratic Party in general realizes what Americans want and until a figure emerges who can convey that to voters across the board the party will continue to lay dormant as a party without relevance. – RTM
1 In the beginning, God made the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without shape and it was empty. Deep water covered the earth and everywhere was dark. The Spirit of God moved above the water.[a]
3 God said, ‘There will be light!’
And there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good.
He caused the light and the dark to be separate.
5 God called the light ‘day’. He called the dark ‘night’.
6 Then God said, ‘A wide space will appear between the waters. So the waters will be in two separate places.’
7 So God made this wide space. He made the water under the space separate from the water that was above it. What God said happened.
8 God called the wide space ‘sky’.
Evening passed and then it was morning.
That was the second day.
9 God said, ‘The water that is under the sky will come together in one place. Then dry ground will appear.’
And what God said happened.
10 God called the dry ground ‘land’. He called the water that had come together ‘sea’.
God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, ‘The land will cause plants to grow. There will be plants with their seeds and trees with their fruits. Each kind of plant and tree will have its own seeds and fruits.’
And what God said happened.
12 All kinds of plants and trees began to grow in the ground. The plants made seeds. The trees made fruits with seeds in them. Each plant made its own kind of seeds.
God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
13 Evening passed and then it was morning.
That was the third day.
14 God said, ‘There will be lights all across the sky.[c] They will make the day different from the night. They will show the seasons, days and years. 15 The lights in the sky will give light to the earth.’
And what God said happened.
16 God made two great lights. The brighter light ruled over the day. The less bright light ruled over the night. God also made the stars.
17 God put all these lights in the sky to shine their light on the earth.
18 They were to rule over the day and night. They were to make the time of light separate from the time of dark.
God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
19 Evening passed and then it was morning.
That was the fourth day.
20 God said, ‘The waters will become full with many living things. Birds will appear and fly above the earth, all across the sky.’
21 God made big animals to live in the sea. He made every different kind of living thing that filled the sea. He made every different kind of bird to fly in the sky.
God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
22 God blessed the animals and the birds. He said to them, ‘Give birth to many young ones, so that you grow in number. Fill all the water in the seas. The birds also should become very many, all across the earth.’[d]
23 Evening passed and then it was morning.
That was the fifth day.
24 God said, ‘Different kinds of animals will now appear on the land. There will be farm animals and wild animals. There will also be other small animals that move along the ground. There will be many kinds of animals and each kind will be different.’[e]
And what God said happened.
25 God made the different kinds of wild animals and the different kinds of farm animals. He made all the different kinds of animals that move along the ground.
God looked at what he had made. He saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, ‘We will make humans so that they are very much like us.[f] They will rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky. They will rule over the farm animals. They will rule over the whole earth and all the animals that move along the ground.’
27 God made humans. He made them to be like himself. He made some of them males and some of them females.
28 God blessed them. He said to them, ‘Give birth to children. Grow in number. Fill the earth and rule over it. Rule over the fish in the sea. Rule over the birds in the sky. Rule over every different kind of living animal that moves along the ground.’[g]
29 Then God said, ‘Listen! I now give to you every plant on the earth as your food. I give you every plant that has seeds in it. I give you every tree that has fruit with a seed in it. I give them to you for your food.
30 I give to the animals green plants for their food. It will be food for all the animals on the earth, all the birds in the sky and all the animals that move along the ground. Everything that has life may eat every kind of green plant.’
And what God said happened.
31 God looked at everything that he had made. He saw that it was very good.
Evening passed. And then it was morning.
That was the sixth day.
